Suppliers can upgrade their free Basic Listing by purchasing a Marketing Package from Cvent. To obtain more information about buying a Marketing Package, please contact a Cvent sales representative at 1-866-318-4358.

3.4 Invitee Credit Card Processing

If you wish to process credit card payments in connection with the Cvent System, you must first establish your own merchant bank account and an account with a provider of credit services on the Internet supported by Cvent. Cvent cannot and does not guarantee that you will be able to qualify for and obtain a merchant account compatible with the Cvent System. You are responsible for testing the connectivity of your merchant account (including authorization, settlement and refund) prior to processing credit card payments at your event. You are responsible for all fees and expenses generated in your merchant bank account. Any refunds or credits must be independently arranged between you and your registrants or your clients' registrants. If you or your client cancels an event for which you have collected fees or if you permit partial or complete refunds, you must maintain sufficient funds in your bank account so that the Cvent System may issue such refunds to your registrants. For security purposes, funds collected will not be held by Cvent at any point in this process. All funds will pass from registrant to customer without ever being deposited in accounts controlled by Cvent.

3.5 Registrations and Registrants

Your Order Form may specify a number of registrants allowed for a given service level and or price. You will be billed for any registrations beyond this number at the rate specified in your Order Form, or the then current rates for overage if none is specified. Except for price, which may differ, you agree that registrations incurred beyond the contracted level will be subject to the same terms. For Order Forms specifying per-event pricing, each event activated in the Cvent System will be counted for billing purposes except events flagged in advance for administrative purposes by Cvent Customer Service.

A Registrant is defined as a person registering via a registration process created within the Cvent system, even if the Registrant was submitted manually through the back end of the system. Guests registered under a Registrant will count as a Registrant for billing purposes. Each registration will count as a Registrant for billing purposes from the point of submission, not from the point of approval or confirmation. If a person cancels, the initial registration still counts as a Registrant for billing purposes.

You agree that the number of Registrants listed under minimum usage fee in your Order Form is the minimum number of Registrants you agree to use and pay for per annum. Should you use less than this minimum number, fees due under the Order Form will not be reduced. Unused registrants will not roll over to another term year.

4.2 Web Survey Product: Contacts; Emails; eMarketing

You may hold up to 100,000 contacts in the Cvent system for the Basic, Premium and Professional level product offerings. You may send up to 500,000 emails per year for the Basic, Premium and Professional level product offerings. Overages are priced as follows: contacts over the 100,000 limit may be stored for $.25 per contact per year, and emails over the 500,000 annual limit may be sent for $0.05 per email. Custom pricing for contacts and emails may be provided for the Enterprise survey product offering, otherwise the baseline limit of 100,000 contacts (total) and 500,000 emails (per year) and the default overage prices also apply to Enterprise customers.

Emails that do not include a link to a Cvent survey process (e.g., email newsletters) are not included in the price of the survey product and will be assessed a per email overage charge, however Customers purchasing the eMarketing Module may send email newsletters, promotions, announcements and other non-survey-related communications, without incurring any extra per email charge, up to the annual limit of 500,000 emails.

Customer understands that there is a 'heavy launch' algorithm used within Cvent's application to identify large e-mail distribution campaigns that could potentially affect system performance. Cvent's systems will calculate the amount of complex logic, number of questions, and number of recipients for all survey launches. If the survey has potential for causing system slowdowns, the 'heavy launch' will be triggered and this will require Cvent support team intervention. Cvent's support team will assist with the launch of the survey within 24-48 hours of this request, typically during non-business hours to ensure there are no issues with the system.

4.3 Survey Product: Trial Edition

Cvent reserves the right to limit access to its Survey Product trial edition based on internal needs. Company may decline or revoke access to the trial edition without notice. Cvent is not responsible for Customer data within the trial edition and relies on Customer to maintain separate copies of the data.

5.1 Price and Payment

You agree to pay all fees and other charges in accordance with this Agreement. All fees are due Net 30 from invoice date. If you do not pay the fees or other charges when they are due, then a finance charge of two percent (2%) plus $100 per month or the maximum rate allowed by law if less will be assessed. Payment shall be by check unless otherwise specified on your Order Form. Cvent may impose a special handling charge of 3-5% if special invoicing requirements apply (such as EDI, third party systems such as Ariba, or other dedicated invoicing systems). Annual fees are charged per annum. As an example, if the Order Form Term spans three years, you will be charged the annual amount three times.

If you exceed the contracted level of Services during the term of this Agreement, you will be charged as specified in your Order Form, or if not specified, using the then-current rates for the overage. Where no limits for usage of Services are explicitly given in your Order Form, limits will apply as specified by product earlier in this document. You are responsible for all taxes, charges or duties including, without limitation, sales, use, value added, royalty or withholding taxes imposed by a federal, state, provincial, local or other government entity on Services provided under this Agreement, excluding taxes based on Cvent's net income.

5.2 Term

The Term of this Agreement is given on the top of the Order Form. If the Term spans several years and the Order Form specifies annual fees, then fees are due in each year of the Order Form (“Contract Year”) or as otherwise specified. The Order Form will renew at the end of its Term as specified (and not on a per year basis) for another Term, equal to the length of the Term specified in the Order Form. If the Order Form specifies a certain number of events, registrants, emails or other billable instances annually, then this limitation pertains to each Contract Year of the Term, unless otherwise specified. Emails are counted when sent, Registrants when the individual is registered, Contacts when created, and Events when created (not the actual date of the event). Unless otherwise provided in the Order Form; if you continue to use the Services beyond the Term, the Order Form will renew for another Term at then-current rates.

5.3 Termination

If you become dissatisfied with the Services because of substantial non-performance, you shall give the Company detailed written notice of such dissatisfaction. Cvent shall have thirty (30) days to cure the substantial non-performance after receipt of such notice. If Cvent fails to cure such substantial non-performance, you may terminate the applicable Order Form and Cvent will refund your “TOTAL Annual Fees” on a monthly pro-rata basis starting as of the end of the thirty (30) day cure period, unless calculation of actual usage would lead to a lower refund amount, in which case that calculation will be used.

Either party may terminate a Order Form if (i) the other party breaches any material term or condition and fails to cure within thirty (30) days written notice, or (ii) the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, liquidation or receivership.

In the event of non-payment by the Customer, Cvent may accelerate and declare all sums due, and to become due under this Agreement, immediately payable without notice or demand. All accelerated future payments due under this Agreement shall be discounted to their net present value at a discount rate of 5% per annum from the day of default. If you fail to pay fees when due, then you shall also be liable for all fees due during the term of the Order Form and any additional expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and accrued interest) Cvent incurs in collecting such delinquent fees.

In the event of non-payment by the Customer, Cvent reserves the right to restrict access to the Services (or in the case of Supplier Network, to downgrade Supplier to a basic listing). Customer agrees that such restrictions do not modify the amounts due under any Order Form.
